- The Composer Is Dead was composed with text by Lemony Snicket as a whodunit mystery for all ages, written in the style of Prokofiev’s Peter & the Wolf and Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, and someone in the orchestra is guilty!
- Tony nominee and Broadway star Manoel Felciano comes straight from the New York run of Amelié to narrate this concert.
- The holiday concert is always our most popular concert of the year and is a perfect introduction for new symphony-goers young, old, or anywhere in between wanting to get into the holiday spirit.
